Garden care

This dwarf daffodil is perfect for planting at the front of a border or in pots. Plant the bulbs during the autumn. Arrange in a group for the best effect, planting them about 10cm (4in) deep. Use soil-based compost if planting in containers. Allow the foliage to die back for at least six weeks after flowering before cutting it off. This will allow the bulbs enough time to store up plenty of energy for next year?s display. To increase an established clump, dig it up when the leaves are dying down and separate a few bulbs for planting elsewhere.
